I am a Muslim, but I wasn't always. I converted to Islam in November 2001, two months after 9/11.
I was 21 and living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was a bad time to be a Muslim. But after four years of studying, poking and prodding at world religions and their adherents, I decided to take the plunge.
I am the product of a Creole Catholic and an Irish atheist. I grew up Catholic, then was agnostic, now I'm Muslim.
My journey to Islam began when I was about 15 years old in Mass and had questions about my faith. The answers from teachers and clergymen -- don't worry your pretty little head about it -- didn't satisfy me.
So I did what any red-blooded American would do: the opposite. I worried about it. For many years. I questioned the nature of religion, man and the universe.
After questioning everything I was taught to be true and digging through rhetoric, history and dogma, I found out about this strange thing called Islam. I learned that Islam is neither a culture nor a cult, nor could it be represented by one part of the world. I came to realize Islam is a world religion that teaches tolerance, justice and honor and promotes patience, modesty and balance.

Humans need structure and rules. Children are supposed to learn societal boundaries, civility, respect for others, and a heavy dose of humility... that the world doesn't revolve around them.
The left thought it could play god and toss out all the rules of human nature, polite society, and cause and effect, as if civilization didn't rest upon the foundational pillars of God, marriage, family, virtue, the rule of law, and love and respect for others.
Rejecting the natural order, these dingbats end up embracing other types of "order"... police states, islam... that require brute force to maintain control.
Liberal women are attracted to the very misogynists they rail against... the type of men (or bulldykes) who shame and embarrass them, slap them down, and generally treat them with utter contempt if not outright brutality. Without a sense of self-respect or true independence, with no internal boundaries to guide them, they gravitate toward control freaks and/or freakish control systems that are eager to make and enforce rules.
Kennedy women, Clinton worshipers, Obama drones, and all who are perpetually needy for big government... there's something wrong with them all right. Professing independence as "feminists", they are helpless fools who would rather take a beating than get a clue. Life is apparently about collecting a stack of victim cards to play when light and truth i.e. reality slips through their wall of lies.
This women wanted answers and she got them in islam, because she found a system that would lie to her but good, by whatever force necessary. Same spirit operates the Obama nation of Desolation.
Some choices need to be rewarded in full. Darwin must shake his head at the lengths some people will go to win his award.
My results were for the google video search. Try it again.
A feminist Muslim...isn’t that the same as a unicorn or a Pegasus? In other words, nonexistent?
Poor dear doesn't understand the difference between "book learning" and "education".
Give it some time, though, and she will inevitably get a clue...
Maybe she was looking for something like Unitarianism but with more structure and discipline. It's hard to say what happens when Theresa goes to a mosque and meets Muslims from a different background. Maybe there's a whole mosque somewhere filled with people like her.
Female genital mutilation goes back to pre-Islamic times in Africa. There's no denying that it's become accepted in the Islamic world, but strictly speaking it's not mandated by the religion itself though many Muslims and non-Muslims make that assumption.
We all know the answer to that one, don't we?
We also know that like democrats, Muslims are justified (in their minds and their religion) in speaking falsehoods if it advances their cause.
The glasses tell you everything you need to know.
Were this FemiNazi/Muslim sincere in her conversion to Islam, there would be one sure way to determine whether or not she was a sincere convert.
The question may be resolved easily - Has she volunteered for Female Genital Mutilation?
Or not?
And more exotic and more alien to whitebread WASP types. She's basically using her religion like an extreme piercing or body modification.
Sic, facit.
Sic, facit.
Exactly.
“I came to realize Islam is a world religion that teaches tolerance, justice and honor and promotes patience, modesty and balance.”
The above line will tell you more about this persons psychological state than all the rest combined. She didn’t “question” anything. She was hell bent on getting somewhere and she got there. She’s angry. Very.
Vero, vero.
